Description

### What

On FSE themes it looks like figcaption fonts are defaulted to use the global system base font for content. Figure captions font size can only be overridden by CSS, it seems.

### Why

There are a lot of use cases where users want a smaller or different font size for figcaptions. There seems to be no way to set this differently other than giving a CSS override ( defeats purpose of FSE )

Research direction

Start by tracing the WordPress Image block in FSE themes and how its figure captions inherit the global content font. Determine where block settings for figcaptions are defined; done means users can choose a figure-caption font size without a CSS override.
